Variety of rolling stock in rail yard

The term rolling stock in the rail transport industry refers to railwayvehicles, including both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example locomotives, railroad cars, coaches, private railroad cars and wagons.[1][2][3][4] A connected series of railway vehicles is a train.

In the United States, the definition has been expanded from the older broadly defined 'trains' to include wheeled vehicles used by businesses on roadways.[5][6][7]

Overview[edit]

The word 'stock' in the term is used in a sense of inventory. Rolling stock is considered to be a liquid asset, or close to it, since the value of the vehicle can be readily estimated and then shipped to the buyer without much cost or delay.[8][9] The term contrasts with fixed stock (infrastructure), which is a collective term for the track, signals, stations, other buildings, electric wires, etc., necessary to operate a railway.

  • Steam and diesellocomotives

  • DMU rolling stock

  • American-style hopper car

  • Articulated well cars with intermodal containers

  • European-type covered freight cars

Code names[edit]

In Great Britain, types of rolling stock were given code names, often of animals. For example, 'Toad' was used as a code name for the Great Western Railway goods brake van,[10] while British Railways wagons used for track maintenance were named after fish, such as 'Dogfish' for a ballast hopper.[11] These codes were telegraphese, somewhat analogous to the SMS language of today.
